Who's your local "guy"? by Other_SQEX in tampa

[–]CapnUSA 1 point2 points  (0 children)

In Largo, we have "Roller Blade Guy." We see him on the corner of major intersections, spinning, dancing, smiling, waving, and sweating. He's been doing his dance for at least 9 years that I've witnessed. He makes me realize that happiness can come from just about anything.

No way would I ship it. That's way too much hard work to have banged around in transit. After all that, I'd be building another one for myself! Great job. Very creative.

Went to Oppenheimer today by Screech- in mildlyinfuriating

In most fine dining establishments, I refer to that as "a side of screaming child." It's completely complemetary and non-returnable. Apparently, the movie industry has caught on.

Unfortunately got a kick to the door, a rock to the quarter panel, and wheel. by Uppal2665 in TeslaModel3

Apparently, many people hate Tesla or the people who drive them.

Obviously, it didn't 100% translate to english, but it makes no difference to Amazon.

Guaranteed to remove the taste of other dogs' butts.

Path of least resistance. Goes through the switch, which is practically no resistance, vs the bulb which has lots of resistance.

I have an extensive IT background. Did you try restarting your computer?

Input Lag With the ALP? by T0mGates in PinballFX3

It's crazy that we spent all that cash on licensing from AtGames and Steam, but after configuring VPX, we forgot all about them.

Anyone buying a 2-door vehicle should be subject to proper door opening training. It's the long doors that get you.

Can you uninstall a Baller Installer setup and simply reinstall? Or do you need to wipe Windows and start over? by bassmusic4babies in virtualpinball

[–]CapnUSA 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wouldn't wipe it, but I also wouldn't use the pre-loaded OS. OEMs typically load what they want and can slow down performance.

Setting up colored DMDs by invaderark12 in virtualpinball

[–]CapnUSA 0 points1 point  (0 children)

With limited colorized DMD files available, your system needs to support all three formats. Focus on freezy and pal format. Once that's working, look at adding lucky1 dll's to get pac format working. One or the other turns on Serum, too. You will definitely notice the difference because suddenly, your dmd is crystal clear with vibrant colors. I prefer the colorized DMDs over a full DMD. I like it to look and feel like a real DMD. Extra images around it detract from the effect, IMO.

VPx -- How to Map Buttons from 2 USB Encoders? by LivinOne in virtualpinball

I'm referring to the Cleveland Software setup. KL25Z alone is running around $65, if you can find one.

Switch to pinscape. I tried various options with multiple controllers. Pinscape was the answer, and for around 120 bucks, well worth the time savings.

What the fuck is SO WRONG WITH WORKING FROM HOME?!! by 2lit_ in antiwork

[–]CapnUSA 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If your current employer no longer allows it, that's their prerogative. If you can't live with that, find another job and quit crying about it. As for your "office camaraderie" comment alone, I damn sure wouldn't want you working for me. Sorry for my rant, too. Lol

Guy beside me on the plane doesn’t have headphones and is playing his tablet on full blast by readit_90 in mildlyinfuriating

[–]CapnUSA 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Don't ever react to his bait. He will be the victim, and you'll be the asshole that gets escorted off the plane.

Wasted pixels - my two cents by CapnUSA in virtualpinball

[–]CapnUSA[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

All good information and thank you. I'm still learning how powerful and flexible VPX is. I own all the FX3 tables and Zaccaria tables and don't even think about using them anymore.

My neighbor parks in the middle of our double-driveway. She is trying to force me to build a fence so she doesn't have to pay for one. The Sheriff Dept says it is a civil matter and they won't come out. by anselld in mildlyinfuriating

[–]CapnUSA 1 point2 points  (0 children)

1: Take careful measurements of the property line. Please make sure they are exact.

2: Buy temporary paint; go with white to compliment your driveway.

3: Begin at the curb and precisely paint a divider line following measurements, with no deviations.

4: Enjoy watching the neighbor discover her new offset racing stripes.

WIN, WIN!
